Farmer Brown has his hands full in "Dooby Dooby Moo." The farm animals, a duck, three cows, three sheep, and three pigs, want to win a local talent show because the first place prize is... you have to read to find out. The cows want to sing, the sheep want to sing, and the pigs want to dance. They have to figure out how to practice and perform at the county fair without Farmer Brown finding out what they are up to. This is one of my favorite books. I can use this in the classroom to teach about animals, what sounds they usually make, and compare those sounds to the variations in the book (ie. "dooby, dooby moo," "fa la, la, la baaaa," and "whacka, whacka quack"). I can sing the animal sounds before showing the class the page to see if they can guess the what song it sounds like (ie. "Dooby, dooby, dooby moo. Dooby moo, moo, moo, moo, moo." is "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"). There are many funny things that happen in the illustrations throughout the book as well. I think this is a great book to use in the classroom with young readers.
